How to shine hardwood floors

Giving your hardwood floors a good shine involves several steps. First, you need to get them clean. Vacuum, sweep, or dust-mop the floors to remove surface dust, dirt, and grit. Then use a damp mop or cloth; you can use a product made for hardwood floors, or even a little dish soap dissolved in water. Do not use vinegar, however, because it is acidic and will dull the floor. If you use dish liquid, rinse so as not to leave a sticky film. Don’t leave any standing water, and it’s best to dry the floor afterward.

You can shine hardwood floors even more with buffing, but this is more work than you really need to do.
